PDP Basic Steps Community member submits a Proposal Advisory Council (AC) works with submitter to ensure clear problem statement and suggested policy change AC puts Draft Policy on PPML for community discussion/feedback (possibly presented at PPC/PPM) AC decides: continue work or abandon AC recommends fully developed Draft Policy (fair, technically sound, and supported by community) for adoption Recommended Draft Policy presented at PPC/PPM If AC still recommends adoption, then Last Call and review Petition process available throughout all AC actions Board review/ratification Staff implements

Policy discussions at this meeting Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2015-2: Modify 8.4 (Inter-RIR Transfers to Specified Recipients) Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2015-7: Simplified requirements for demonstrated need for IPv4 transfers Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2016-1: Reserved Pool Transfer Policy Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2016-2: Change timeframes for IPv4 requests to 24 months Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2016-4: Transfers for new entrants Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2016-5: Post-IPv4-Free-Pool-Depletion Transfer Policy Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2016-6: Eliminate HD-Ratio from NRPM Draft Policy ARIN-2016-3: Alternative simplified criteria for justifying small IPv4 transfers For details, consult the ARIN 38 Discussion Guide and Transfer Policy Comparison Handout

Proposals at Public Policy Meetings (AC workload) Graph illustrates number of proposals (draft policies) presented at PPMs, basically shows the workload of the Advisory Council.
